Synopsis: 
By ancient definition, the adamant was known as both a diamond and a mythical stone of indestructible wonder. In more modern terminology, it describes a posture of unshakeable resolve and determination. If there was ever a time for us to be adamant about love and truth it is now. God is Love. God is Truth. Both love and truth are timeless, transcending our current trends and opinions. Sometimes the most loving thing we will ever do is to speak the truth, but speaking truth begins with living it. 
Using the mediums of Scripture and story, New York Times bestselling author Lisa Bevere takes readers on a journey into the Mountain of God, to the one place they can learn not only to abide in God's unshakeable truth and love, but become adamant--people who are unmovable, determined, and steadfast. With conviction and passion, Lisa unpacks the concept of the adamant for readers, linking together the grand story of Scripture and God's purpose in their lives. Readers will see that God's plan is revealed as we dwell in him, it is there that we are forged and shaped. As we abide in Christ our Cornerstone we are shaped into the image of the adamant.
My Rating: 
Lisa Bevere is well-known for her books. I have never read any of her other books though I do own Lioness Arising on ebook. I was super excited to read Adamant because it 1) was her latest book, 2) had a gorgeous cover (I'm a sucker for a stunning book cover) and 3) seemed relevant to the times we live in and my own personal feelings. Adamant is all about "finding truth in a universe of opinions." It's about understanding how truth is a rock and not like a flowing river. Truth is never changing and unending. As Christians our adamant should be God because he anchors our souls in a raging sea of opinions. God gives us a clear sense of direction in this crazy world we live in.

God can never lie. He is truth. Jesus even said that He is "the way, the truth and the light" in John 14:6. God is immovable, invincible, unshakable and can never tell a lie. Jesus, himself, is the cornerstone of all we are and ever dream to be. Adamant is a book that helps you to understand God in a new light. This book is comprised of 11 chapters that focus on God and what He is and is not adamant about. It will give you some core truths to remember, know and understand when someone gives you their personal opinion.

I truly loved this book and look forward to re-reading it again on my own and as part of a book club. I will hands down say buy this book without reservation. It's phenomenal!

VOTW | Isaiah 41:10 - Ever Present Help

Good morning Gems (& Gents)! This past weekend has been insane in both a good and scary way. I experienced something frightening, but in that situation I felt a sense of peace and contentment that I'd never would have experienced before if my relationship with God wasn't where it is now. As I was thinking of a verse for this week, I came across this one from the book of Isaiah and I knew this was it: Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Such a small, yet powerful verse. This is a command and a promise from our Father whether we are in times of despair or in seasons of gladness. Though told this to the people of Israel, this verse is still true to His children today. Let's start off by breaking down some of the words in this verse shall we: Fear : the Hebrew word is  yare' meaning to cause to frighten ( affright ); to make or be afraid;...

DOI Book Club - Fervent by Priscilla Shirer

Good morning Gems! Today, I'll be sharing with you all one of the exciting things I'll be starting in March and it's a book club! I polled on Facebook and Instagram and had you all vote and the winner was a no-brainer! This is the first Book Club that I’ll be hosting ever and I am so excited. Fervent by Priscilla Shirer won hands down! We’re jumping into the topic of prayer and I’m a big person on reading and learning all that I can about prayer. I don’t know about you all, but my prayer life has its ups and downs. Now for those of you who don’t know, Priscilla Shirer is the actress from the movie War Room ( which I HIGHLY recommend ). She wrote a book for woman based off of the movie. Here’s bit of what to expect from this phenomenal book: “You have an enemy . . . and he’s dead set on destroying all you hold dear and keeping you from experiencing abundant life in Christ. What’s more, his approach to disrupting your life and discrediting your faith isn’t gene...
